Conditions:

Pamoic acid, also called embonic acid, is a naphthoic acid derivative, used as a counter ion of a drug compound to increase the solubility of the drug in water. Pamoic acid has agonist activity for the orphan G protein-coupled receptor GPR35 by which it activates ERK and beta-arrestin2, and causes antinociceptive activity. Although (like other drug salts) it has been considered an inactive compound by the FDA.

Sulfadoxine is an antimalarial agent which, together with pyrimethamine, composes an FDA-approved drug, Fansidar. Sulfadoxine acts by inhibiting dihydropteroate synthase; it crosses the blood-brain barrier and achieves 30% to 60% of the plasma concentration.

Sulfalene (INN, USAN) or Sulfametopyrazine (BAN) is a long-acting sulfonamide antibiotic used for the treatment of chronic bronchitis, urinary tract infections, and malaria. Sulfametopyrazine, by virtue of a long half-life, achieves peak blood levels of 120 mkg/ml or more which fall to around 30-50 mkg/ml one week after a single oral dose of 2 g. Long-term administration of this drug in the treatment of leprosy for up to 3 years has been accomplished without serious unwanted effects

Sodium artesunate, an artemisinin derivative, is used in malaria treatment. Artesunate, has been licensed in Thailand for the treatment of falciparum malaria since 1990. It is a potent antimalarial drug that can reduce parasitaemia by 90% within 24 h of administration. Sodium artesunate was first isolated in China, it is a water soluble antimalaria used clinically in China.
Pyrimethamine, sold under the trade name Daraprim, is one of the folic acid antagonists that is used as an antimalarial or with a sulfonamide to treat toxoplasmosis. In addition it was approved in Chemoprophylaxis of Malaria. However, resistance to pyrimethamine is prevalent worldwide. It is not suitable as a prophylactic agent for travelers to most areas. Pyrimethamine is well absorbed with peak levels occurring between 2 to 6 hours following administration. It is eliminated slowly and has a plasma half-life of approximately 96 hours. Pyrimethamine is 87% bound to human plasma proteins. Pyrimethamine acts by selectively inhibiting malarial dihydrofolate reductase-thymidylate synthase and the rationale for its therapeutic action is based on the differential requirement between host and parasite for nucleic acid precursors involved in growth. This activity is highly selective against plasmodia and Toxoplasma gondii. Pyrimethamine possesses blood schizonticidal and some tissue schizonticidal activity against malaria parasites of humans. The action of pyrimethamine against Toxoplasma gondii is greatly enhanced when used in conjunction with sulfonamides.
